I got a friend who really damaged his back a few years back when he fell on his head and damged his back. He can stand, walk, run hes not disablled just after a period of time he gets pain. I told him i'd ask him do you think deadlifts would be a bad thing or a good thing?

I'm talking 45 lbs, or maybe even less.

are you also his physician? if not, then i don't think neither you nor us have the capability to assess his readiness for weight training.

Is the pain coming from the spine or the muscles?
but if i guess if it worths the risk, you can start out with something like goodmorning with a broom stick to see how it goes, then gradually add 5 of 10 lbs.
